先锋的形式 传统的内核——评墨白小说《父亲的黄昏》

Avant-Garde Form, Traditional Core: A Case Study of The Twilight of the Father by Mo Bai

墨白的小说《父亲的黄昏》有先锋小说的狂欢化叙事和传统小说的情感谱系。学习绘画艺术的经历使得墨白的文学创作自然融入了绘画的元素,如色彩的运用、具有电影画面感的场景描写等。其故事的内核向里走——维护传统伦理和家庭亲情,而故事的表面向外奔——跨文体写作。这看似一种矛盾的存在,在墨白这里,得到了很好的调和。他灵活地驾驭着叙事语言,完成了传统与先锋的有机融合,将散文、诗歌等非小说类元素融入故事叙述,在"看"与"被看"中,凸显出城乡二元对立的模式。

The Twilight of the Fatherby Mo Bai is a novel with the carnival narration of vanguard novels and the emotionalpedigree of traditional novels. Thanks to his painting learning experience, Mo Bai has naturally implanted such painting elements asuse of color, creation of picturesque scenes, and etc. Besides, the novel aims both inwardly at maintaining traditional ethics andfamily affection and outwardly at an attempt of a cross-genre writing mode. Such a contradiction becomes reconcilable through ablending of the traditional qualities and vanguard elements and non-fiction elements like prose, poetry, and etc., highlighting arural-urban conflict in the process of"to see"and"to be seen".
